“Duh!” She rolled her eyes.
“Elizabeth is my friend.”
Brandon was suddenly enlightened. He cleared his throat and said, “I can help you, but on one condition: skip work
tomorrow and come with me.”
Natalie was a little curious about where he wanted to take her.
But since Brandon had agreed to help, there was no reason for her to refuse. Her anger dissipated instantly and
she smiled.
“No problem.”
The following day, Brandon woke Natalie up before the sun had even risen.
The driver had been waiting for them at the gate of the villa.
When he saw the couple coming out, he opened the door for them respectfully.
Natalie watched the passing scenery outside the window with great curiosity.
“Honey, where are you taking me? Have you found Jorge already?”
After all, time was of the essence! Elizabeth could only go back to work once Jorge was caught.
Brandon patted the back of her hand and said calmly, “Don’t worry about that yet. Let’s solve our problems one at
a time.”
Soon, the car pulled to a stop in front of the Larson Group’s building.
Brandon then led her to the company’s Security Department.

headphones, typing away busily.
Brandon walked up to one of the staff and said, “Show me the IP address you tracked.”
The technical staff promptly opened a blank window and input a series of codes into it.

Brandon walked up to one of the staff and said, “Show me the IP address you tracked.”
The technical staff promptly opened a blank window and input a series of codes into it.
Then, a city map appeared on the screen.
There was a bright red dot in the center. He kept zooming in until they could see that the red dot marked a specific
spot in the city -the Turnery Group’s building.
“A few days ago, we traced the IP address to the Turner Group and then the Turner family’s villa, and then it
disappeared.They must’ve destroyed the computer to throw us off.”
The technical staff reported the situation to Brandon and Natalie matter-of-factly.
“Are you still trying to track down the hacker?” Natalie asked in surprise.
She had almost forgotten all about it.
“Of course.Ever since we found out that your computer was hacked, we’ve been trying to find out who the hacker
is,” Brandon explained.
“Whoever hacked into your computer wanted to scare you. He must’ve had a plan. Now that we’ve connected the
hacker to the Turner family, I believe that whoever’s behind this wants to take advantage of Charis’s death to turn
her parents against you.”
He had found out all of this without her knowing? Natalie was both surprised and deeply touched.It turned out that
he still loved her so much.
“I mean, I always knew that someone was trying to mess with me, but I didn’t know you were working so hard to
pin the person down.” Natalie looked up at Brandon with newfound respect.
“You’re my wife,” Brandon said in a gentle voice, his expression softening.
“It’s only natural that I want to protect you. Besides, I can’t wait to teach this hacker a lesson for trying to scare
you.” Brandon smiled. He knew that Natalie wasn’t afraid of ghosts. But he wouldn’t just stand by and watch
someone try to harm his wife.
Natalie shifted her focus to the red dot on the screen and asked, “So have you figured out who’s behind this?”
Brandon murmured cryptically, “I will soon.”
Just then, his phone started to ring.It wasSean calling.
“Boss, we’ve got her. She’s being kept at the interrogation room. We’ll wait for you here.”
Sean was indeed a man of action.
After hanging up, Brandon was planning to go alone, but then Natalie grabbed the hem of his suit jacket urgently.
“Take me with you.I want to go.”
As soon as Brandon turned his head, he met Natalie’s intent gaze. He didn’t say anything and just returned her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstare, silently asking Natalie to give him a reason.
“That person took advantage of a dead person, I want to know why” Natalie said through gritted teeth.
Although she didn’t like Charis nor her parents, it was really despicable to take advantage of a dead person. She
wanted to see this matter to the end.
Brandon’s expression darkened.
Seeing this, Natalie tilted her head slightly in confusion.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you want me to go with you?”
“The interrogation process may be a little…unorthodox. Are you sure you want to tag along?”
Brandon pursed his lips, worried that Natalie would get scared.
Moreover, he didn’t want her to see his cruel side.
Brandon Larson was merciless when it came to interrogations.He loved Natalie deeply, and he wanted her to see
only the good in him.
“More scary than someone pretending to be a ghost? Let me go with you, Brandon.I want to see this to the end.”
Natalie knew that she couldn’t hide behind Brandon forever. He had been protecting her so well lately.
While she appreciated this from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to be able to stand on her own two feet.
“Okay,”
Brandon finally relented.
“But you have to promise me that if you get uncomfortable, you’ll leave. Do you understand?”
Natalie nodded obediently.
